Ever After High

A place where a myriad of different characters would gather to learn how to become their better selves, who they were destined to become in order to continue the very stories from which they spawned

Some were destined for a happily ever after, a kingdom, a place by their beloved's side, while others were fated to be the very evil that put others at risk. Either by poisoning, casting a curse, or taking over the land, this was a place where both heroes and villains were formed

Although... not everyone was happy with the hand they were dealt, and some went as far as to rebel against the very fate they were supposed to guard. This created a rift between the school's students

Amongst these "Rebels", was Cerise Hood, daughter of Red Riding Hood, and the Big Bad Wolf...although no one was supposed to know about the latter part

This air of mystery led Cerise down a less sociable path than she would like, for she had to keep her secret safe, for her sake, and her family's. As such, the young girl would seek places of solitude where she could truly be herself

One of these places was the Enchanted Forest, which was next to the school itself, but where students were a rarity

She could spend time with Carmine, the little direwolf that sprung to life every time it saw her, even challenging her to a small race and playing afterward. Never a dull moment

However, as she returned from her time in her beloved Enchanted Forest, the girl came across a rather unusual scene by the lake. It was her friend Raven Queen, daughter of the Evil Queen and leader of the Rebels

But...she wasn't alone

In front of her, the water became unstable, and aggressive as it shifted upwards, revealing a black silhouette of a being, with tentacles swinging before the figure itself shifted into a more human-like appearance as it started cackling. Raven took a step back at the sight of it

Two purple orbs focused on the girl standing nearby, and shortly after, a toothed grin

???: My dear sweet child! What could little ol' me do for you?

The voice sent shivers down Cerise's spine. She knew exactly what this was, a witch of the sea. The kind her father had warned her about

And the kind that was threatening her close friend right now

But not if she had anything to say about it

Just like that, her fear turned into an aggressive drive to protect. Her eyes glowed a powerful gold as she growled and with all her might, she lunged at this figure in the water, with enough force to knock it off its makeshift throne and into the ground, where she had the advantage

Her sudden appearance earned screams from the people nearby, but not the kind she would expect

???: AGHH!! WHAT THE HEX?!

Raven: Cerise, wait!

This was hardly the response she was expecting, and understandably confused, she turned to Raven, who had a worried look on her

Raven: There's no danger! Y/N is a friend!

Cerise's eyes went wide at the mention of this name. Raven had mentioned before this boy she could get along with, and that didn't come easy to her, so when her friend started to describe him, she became interested in doing so
